Onside is a charity set up in 1993 and currently providing support across Worcestershire and Herefordshire.
Onside recognises that for a range of reasons, many people in our local communities face disadvantage and inequality of access, and may encounter barriers to getting the right support, services, information and advice.
Onside provide a range of services and support options to help people overcome those barriers and feel more confident and empowered to speak up, make decisions and choices, improve their health and wellbeing and engage with other people and their communities.
The involvement and commitment of volunteers is vital to the support we are able to offer to those using our services.
Our volunteers come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds, contributing varied work and life experiences.

Our aim is to finance our activities through a broad range of funding bodies to ensure we remain independent and to support long term sustainability. During an average twelve months we deliver services to around 11,000 people and we could help so many moreif we had additional funds.

"Even though my circumstances at home haven’t actually changed. My son is still very ill. I realized the other day, that I haven’t had any panic attacks since about the second week of MoodMaster! I used to have them all the time.....and I mean all the time!! (Regularly.... Sometimes more than once a day). I haven’t had even one recently! I’m feeling so much calmer and more in control. It [MoodMaster] really is making a huge difference to my life."
Brandon had shared that he had a drink problem for 18 months before attending MM, due to his marriage breakdown – "I have learnt to master new skills to control my emotional state and outlook on life. I have made significant changes to my lifestyle since attending MoodMaster. I take more exercise, am more relaxed, address problems more logically, identify things that are out of my control and I cannot change."
Brandon reported that he had stopped drinking alcohol, used meditation to get to sleep and took himself for a 20 minute walk every day since attending MoodMaster.
Mix is all about people. Whether that is making sure our customers have the best service and produce possible, or that people facing disadvantage, who work in our café, get the right support to gain new skills and change their lives.
What is not to love about Mix? Delicious high quality homemade food and a café raising money to help the most disadvantaged people in Worcestershire.
